There are all sorts of ways to make money out there, and your challenge is to find the most effective way of doing it. Essentially, you need to maximize how much money you can make for the time and effort that you expend. We have already discussed Forever Cash and Temporary Cash in previous posts, so let’s have a look at the worst kind of cash that’s out there: One-Time Cash.

One-Time Cash is where you get paid one time (duh!) for a service that you perform. The vast majority of people the world over get paid in One-Time Cash, and the moment they stop working, the money stops coming in. Read more!

Once you have given yourself the proper financial education, the next step is to start putting it into practice. But this may seem somewhat intimidating if you are just barely making ends meet as is. You may ask yourself how in the world you can possibly think about investing when you are still struggling to keep your financial head above the water.

Like any pursuit in life, the solution lies with a mix of offense and defense. In a future blog post, we will talk a little bit about playing defense by lowering your monthly expenses. But for now, let’s focus on how you can save up enough money to make that first investment.

You will need to identify what kind of investment you are looking at to give yourself a dollar amount as a goal. For example, perhaps you are looking to purchase a piece of vacant land for pennies on the dollar using Jack Bosch’s Land Profit Generator. If so, you can probably expect to need at least $500-$1,000 for your first small investment. So let’s make saving up $1,000 your goal. Read more!

I don’t recommend Network Marketing companies easily because I am very particular about what I like and what I think is doable for most people. There are many great companies in that space but also a lot of them who sell things that people usually would not use and often don’t really need, and in those cases network marketing turns people into a sellathon of junk. That is not for me. I deal with thousands of people every year and I know that most don’t have a network of 1000 people around them to spread the word or they don’t have the money to go buy expensive additional stuff they really often don’t need.

Have you ever seen those little merry-go-rounds that many playgrounds have? In our modern-day litigious society, they aren’t as common as they used to be, but if you have ever been fortunate enough to ride on one you know how much fun they are. Often, a group of kids will jump on while one or two more will stay on the ground and push the others around and around. With each little push, the merry-go-round goes faster and faster, and the kids laugh harder and harder.

Our lives today are full of cycles. Many people find themselves in a sort of vicious cycle of earning money only to see it get quickly spent. But there is a better way – the Wealth Wheel. Read more!

In a past blog posting, we mentioned the importance of playing a good offense when trying to meet your financial goals. The offense involved earning some extra money and setting that money aside (along with a portion of your salary) for later investment.

In today’s post, we want to talk a little bit about playing defense. Most of us have grown up in aneconomic system that pushes us into spending money that we don’t have and into thinking that the only way of paying our bills is by getting a 9-5 job. But after you have learned that true financial freedom comes only after you take control of your finances, you will surely be very eager to get going. So along with earning some extra money and setting it aside to be invested later on, what can you do to play some defense and reduce the amount of money that you need right now? And how can you stay motivated throughout the process? Read more!

On September 10, 2013, a revolutionary book called “Forever Cash” was released through Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble bookstores. This book pulls back the curtain and reveals the money-making secrets of the world’s wealthiest citizens.

When you invest your hard-earned money into an asset, you naturally hope to receive some sort of return. What is considered a good return?Many financial advisors, especially those who specialize in selling shares of mutual funds, say that an 8% annual Return on Investment (ROI) is ideal and should be enough to care for the costs of your future retirement.

Does an 8% ROI sound good to you? If you are just now starting to prepare for retirement, will an 8% ROI allow you to live the kind of life that you want?

As any experienced investor can tell you, not all investments are the same. Some investments give you a big return, some give you a modest return, and some don’t give you any return at all. But what is the best kind of investment for you to put your money in? Read more!

“Not all cash is created equal” – this is the title of chapter 4 of the book Forever Cash. This chapter exposes the fact that, although all $100 bills look the same, the way that they were obtained makes a big difference once they are in the pocket of their owner.

Temporary Cash is where you get paid multiple times for only having worked once. It is far better to make money this way then by trading your time for cash (hours for dollars).

What are some ways that you can generate some Temporary cash flow? Have a look at some ideas below. Read more!
